I think Autopsy's debut has probably the best performed and engineered bass out of any metal album.



This whole album is incredible. I've been kind of rediscovering it.

Immutable by Meshuggah!

God I need to get back on Autopsy, I've had that album on my to do list for a while. And yes, I love the bass on what little of this record I've heard. Off topic, I also really like the bass on those groovier Bolt Thrower albums (like For Those Once Loyal), but it's a different aproach doe.

As for me, lately I've been getting into Susumu Hirasawa's stuff outside of the OSTs he did. Fucking love it.

I haven't heard a whole lot of Autopsy stuff, but damn, that's awesome cover art.

Been digging the new Devil Master lately. Not as instantly addictive as their previous, but I'm liking it more with every listen.

Carcass even paid tribute.

It's been a while since I listened to Dimmu Borgir, but damn, I'm liking their demo version of Puritania:



Instead of being overproduced gothic black metal whatever (with the vocalist using a megaphone, wtf), this sounds like a war march. Pretty awesome.

I've really been into Hellripper lately, too:



I think it's pretty impressive how it's a one man band, and both the drums and guitar are this fast and tight. Very oldschool Motorhead-esque feeling to most songs, and I love the melodic part (and guitar solos!) in the middle of this one. Can't get enough of this. The only one man bands I can think of off the top of my head are Burzum and Mignight, and while Midnight is enjoyable too, it's nowhere near as tight as this. Just awesome.

Speaking of Moterhead, I found this song. Apparently it's the 30th anniversary animated tribute. Both Ozzy and Moterhead do this tune.

Lesse what we've here,...

Was about to get into some'a this when Apple Music fed me a track the other day, but I think I'll get my exercise on to that CV, thanks Gunlord!

EDIT: Yooo, why is this so Dracula MIDI Collection?  I'm confused by what's going on here.  ._.

"I keep sayin' that's it's getting too much, but I know that I'm a liar"

Hahaha, would've expected nothing less from Lemmy. 

I've been digging Beast in Black lately. Some of their songs have been infectiously catchy, like Cry out for a Hero:



"With seven scars and fists of fury"

It's always nice when you hear a power metal song about Fist of the North Star, lol. Apparently these guys make a lot of songs about Berserk, too. Sign me up. I like the retro vibe on a lot of their synth work. This and Die by the Blade have been on repeat in my head lately.

I can’t be the only Australian 90’s hip hop head in here..

Thanks for the introduction 

I snagged two songs from this group already: From Hell With Love and Unlimited Sin.

[JR]

Awesome, good to hear! I'm pretty new to them too, but they definitely have some bangers. I think Revengeance Machine might be my favorite song of theirs so far.

[X]

To be honest it kinda reminds me of Man-O-War. The good classic-sounding rock with no profanity in the lyrics.

[JR]

I can definitely see that. Especially with a sprinkle of Rob Halford thrown in. Their vocalist can hit some crazy high notes!

 Orden Ogan is another good band I found recently, in the same vein. I guess I was on a drunk power metal binge, lol.
